Structural Framing

We use a heavy-duty structural steel components to create an incredibly rigid framework. We completely weld the entire primary structure so that it arrives at your facility ready to be stood up and anchored. All steel is galvanized to resist corrosion and provide years of maintenance free performance.

Decking

All deck surfaces utilize a galvanized serrated plank grating that provides added traction and allows for air movement while enabling light snow, ice and rain water to pass through deck surface for added safety.

Stairs

Stair Design

Access to the top of each tower is by use of our internal galley stair systems. The stairs are factory installed into every tower to further enhance the speed of assembly. Like our deck surface we utilize galvanized, serrated plank grating to facilitate air movement and prevent buildup of light snow, ice and rain.

Balconies

We supply these balconies to create viewing platforms. They are available at single or multiple levels. Towers can included balconies on one, two, three of four sides and can be placed at any height. Multi-balcony designs are spaced in 8’ increments. Balconies are shipped as a factory welded unit for easy on-site attachment to the tower.

Foundation Design

Porta-King provides full engineering analysis of the structure for your specific location as well as design of the foundation and these services are included in the cost of the tower. Every tower is secured to the concrete foundation at 32 points with stainless steel epoxy anchors.

Roof Structure

Roofs are a closed end gabled design and can be provided in one of 20 standard colors. Roof structures ship as a separate unit for easy installation.
